Following the success of his debut project Ivangeli, Lolli continues to cement his place as one of South Africa’s most authentic voices, representing both the streets that raised him and the broader African story.
The 10-track body of work blends street rap, kwaito-hop energy, and soulful collaborations into a soundscape that feels both rooted and forward-looking. Each song carries themes of perseverance, community, and faith.
Amandla boasts heavyweight collaborations with ATM, Emtee, Anzo, Bugzito, Phila Madlingozi, 25K, Jay Claude, Yamke, and Lerato Lichaba, with production credits from Masta BC, Young2unnBeats, Rillo, Eno Da Cooldude, Jay Smash x Fzeikk, and Tru Hitz.
Standout moments include the prayerful title track “Amandla” (feat. ATM), the triumphant “Guess Who’s Back” (feat. Emtee), the hard-hitting “Bad Man” (feat. 25K & Jay Claude), and the soulful “Too Late” (feat. Phila Madlingozi).
Reflecting on the project, Lolli Native shares:
“Amandla is named after my sister, who has been my rock. While making this album, I realised it’s also a thank you to everyone who has held me down — my family, my community, and my faith. This album is about strength, belief, and appreciation.”
With Amandla, Lolli Native offers more than just music — he delivers a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of dreams.
